Baylor and Iowa meet on Saturday, September 24. The game will be streamed live on fuboTV (livestream) and DirecTV Stream (free trial).
Baylor heads to the Big 12 opener in Iowa State on Saturday and plans to leverage the experience of the double loss of overtime at BYU two weeks ago.
The 17th-ranked Bears (2-1) will play in front of another big and loud crowd at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, just like in Provo, Utah, and will face another motivated and tough opponent.
No. 19 BYU is by far the strongest team Baylor has played. The defending Big 12 champion Bears defeated their other opponents, Albany and Texas State, by a combined 111-17.
Iowa State (3-0) is going for its best start since 2000. Its best game to date was a 10-7 road win over rival Iowa.
The last three Baylor-Iowa state meetings were decided by a total of 11 points. Baylor has not won in Ames since 2016 and this game is starting as a defensive battle. Iowa State leads the Big 12 in total, rushing and scoring defense. Baylor is third overall and hasty defense.
When is Baylor-Iowa State?
Baylor will play Iowa State on Saturday, September 24 at 11 a.m. ET.

Example
X MARKS THE PLACE: Xavier Hutchinson, who set an Iowa Sate record last season with 83 receptions, already has 28. He has had no fewer than eight catches in each of the first three games.
NEW JOB, SAME RESULT: Anthony Johnson was one of the top cornerbacks in the Big 12 for four years before Campbell asked him to move to the Cyclones for his final season. So far, so good.
Johnson is the team’s active career pass leader (25), but he didn’t have his first interception until last week against Ohio.
“I think I’m more on the ball,” said Johnson, who will make his 45th consecutive start. “I’m grateful and I love the transition and I’m glad I made it.”
DOYLE HOMECOMING: Baylor’s Dillon Doyle returns to his home state following his transfer from Iowa after the 2019 season. The Iowa City native has started 25 of his 26 games as a linebacker for the Bears, making 155 tackles. He also plays a number of fullbacks and has a receiving and rushing touchdown.
I TAKE THAT: Iowa State is first in the Big 12 and ninth nationally with eight takeaways (four interceptions, four fumbles). Baylor has two fumbles and no interceptions in three games. The Bears had at least one takeaway in 23 consecutive games before going empty against BYU.
STATISTICS ARE JUST NUMBERS: Baylor won last year’s meeting 31-29 in Waco, despite the state of Iowa outsmarting the Bears 479-282 and down 85 penalties. The Bears took the win when JT Woods intercepted Brock Purdy’s two-point conversion pass with 24 seconds left.
